My students were overjoyed when they saw the new Math & Science collection, the Rhythm & Rhyme books, and the many wonderful story books added to our shelves. For many of them, this library is their only access to such a wide variety of books, and having choices that truly reflect their interests has already sparked excitement during reading time. One student eagerly chose a rhyming story to read aloud with a friend. Moments like these remind me how powerful it is to give children the gift of books.\r\n\r\nWhen the boxes arrived, my students could hardly contain their excitement. They crowded around as we unpacked the new titles, touching the covers and asking if they could be the first to read them. It was heartwarming to see how thankful they were to have so many new stories to explore. Now, during independent reading time, the library corner is always full—students curled up with books, sharing discoveries, and finding joy in reading. Your support has truly made our library a place of inspiration and imagination.","fullyFundedDate":1746551153593,"projectUrl":"project/books-to-inspire-the-love-of-learning-th/9245433/","projectTitle":"Books to Inspire the Love of Learning Through Reading","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Gonzalez","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp6417123_orig.jpg?crop=272,272,x0,y211&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1557042648474","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/6417123"},{"teacherId":6417123,"projectId":9131609,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your generosity in funding our classroom project.

These resources have already made a tremendous difference—my students now look forward to center time because of the many fun and interactive ways they can practice reading, writing, and math skills. They especially love the Trace & Write Alphabet Center, which has made practicing letter formation an exciting activity instead of a challenge.\r\n\r\nI will never forget the joy on my students' faces when they saw the new sofa arrive for our classroom library. They eagerly helped unpack it and couldn't wait to sit down and read in their refreshed space. The headphones have also been a game-changer—students are able to focus while working on iPads, which has improved their learning and confidence. Your generosity has created an environment where my students feel motivated, supported, and excited to learn every single day.\r\n\r\nFrom the bottom of my heart, thank you for believing in my students and providing them with opportunities that will truly impact their growth as readers and writers.
